Your little guy, of course, is so terribly sweet and innocent. But just the motorcycle in your title sent me down the rabbit hole of wild memories! ๐

A peaceful image in so many ways, Jane. I like the way you have a dark background for his white shirt and a light one behind his head. It gives some motion and depth to the photo.

Is he on a motorcycle? I can’t tell, and that is one failing of the photograph: Not enough information.

Hi Varjak, Perhaps if I had titled it simply Dreaming, you may not have had that reaction. For me, it’s about the portraiture and his expression. Thank you for your comment.

Do you find the black and white version of this portrait superior to the color version?

Hi Steve, Good question. I like the color version, too, with his lovely skin tone but think it works a bit better in monochrome. Thank you for asking.

What an excellent portrait, Jane, just beautifully done. You’re in Japan, right? I’m thinking you scheduled these posts ahead, and are having a wonderful time, possibly being visually overwhelmed…. ๐
